Resources

Adding your app

You can add your app to the website by creating a new file in _apps/ with this template:

---
# A human-friendly name of your listing
title: Title of Your app
# A short description of what your app does
description: What your app does
# The slug of your hosted app on GitHub (https://github.com/apps/YOUR-SLUG)
slug: Shortened version of app name
# Include a few screenshots that show your app in action
screenshots:
- https://somewebsite.com/your-screenshot.png
# The GitHub usernames of anyone who authored the app
authors: [ your-username, other-usernames ]
# The repository where the code is located
repository: your-username/your-app
# The address where this app is deployed
host: https://my-probot-app.awesomecloudhost.com
---

Any documentation can go here. Many apps just use their README.md here.

Requirements for apps

  • Performs a useful action through the GitHub API that solves an existing problem for developers
  • Is original: for example, it does something not already done by an existing probot app
  • Has tests
  • Has documentation
  • Is open source
  • Has a license
  • Has a code of conduct
  • Has someone willing to at least minimally maintain them for the near future

The app will then go through a review process before being listed on the website. You can check out the app review process here.

Apps

We have one app enabled on this repo:

  • Stale: We use Stale to ensure that conversations here remain relevant. This is for us, the maintainers, so that we don't feel like we've got hundreds of issues to deal with; if you still have an issue, please let us know! We don't want to close issues that are painful for you. Stale just helps us have a bit more breathing space by making sure issues don't pile up forever.

If you're concerned about our apps or feel that they are insensitive in some way, please let us know.
